Sean Parson

Cooking up a revolution

Food Not Bombs, Homes Not Jails, and resistance to gentrification

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

During the late 1980s and early 1990s the city of San Francisco waged a war against the homeless. This book treats the conflict between the city and activists as a unique opportunity to examine the contested nature of homelessness and public space while developing an anarchist alternative to liberal urban politics that is rooted in mutual aid, solidarity and anti-capitalism.
